When you rediscover an eye palette and get those warm fuzzies all over again…you know it’s the real thing.

So there I was earlier today – testing out the new Laura Mercier foundation I hauled recently, looked at myself in the mirror and said,

“Hey girl, let’s finish that makeup off for ya – and hey, I know you don’t have to make a public appearance today (well not counting the run around the lake you just did in your SPF), but why don’t we do a full eye look, bronze those cheeks and then WTH, let’s curl that hair while we’re at it! Sound good?”

Apparently I can be quite convincing because that’s how it started, this is how I ended up and in the process I rediscovered my love for an eye palette I’ve not picked up for awhile (see my palette post here!)

When I first experienced the Laura Mercier Artist Eye Palette I was enamored, but now that I have quite a few more palettes under my belt, I think I have an even better appreciation for the formula, consistency, blendability and the overall shades from this palette. Fortunately for both of us this palette was recently re-released at Sephora, and currently in stock, so you can shop freely. Woohoo! I say I’m relieved as well because it is probably every bloggers nightmare to have to talk about something that is no longer available. It seriously pains my heart man *chest thump*.

The one shade in this palette that completely melts me is African Violet which I used all over the lids. This time when applying I took a small synthetic concealer brush and really packed it onto the lids which resulted in a very pigmented application that is gorgeous! I warmed up the crease with Fresco on a large fluffy brush to diffuse it out as much as I could and then went back in with the same small concealer brush and applied Vanilla Nuts and Sparkling Dew to the inner corners and brow bone. To bring a little more plum definition to the eyes I used Violet Ink on the lower lashline and blended it out with the fluffy brush.

Although this makeup look is all about the eyes, I just have to share my lip combination with you which is amazing! I took Laura Mercier Plumberry Lip Pencil all over the lips and topped it with Marc Jacobs Beauty New Nudes in Strange Magic which is the ultimate lipstick/lipliner topper on the face of the planet. The result is a soft rose nude mauve shade that is incredibly wearable and lasts a long time too!
